They've been paying. That's a big part of why they're in trouble.

I used to check over there fairly often to see what new stupidy they were spouting but now its kind of sad to see the rantings of 20 mostly unstable people. I don't see how that site stays alive.
Has it intensified? Hell yeah it has. When one fan base goes after people's jobs because of things said on a message board it's gonna get worse. When the same fan base tries to bring us and the SEC down because they got caught in the worst cheating scandal in CFB history it's gonna get worse. It amazes me that they think they can still shit on us without consequences and we'll smile and take it. They don't understand that this ain't your grandpappy's Mississippi State. This rivalry will continue to intensify until they accept that we had nothing to do with their downfall.
It goes back to the "cultish, clannish mentality", as Wolken has described it, which has been fueled further by the misinformation provided by their media. If they had been told the truth and accepted the truth early on about their NCAA problems it would not be near this bad. Of course their attitude about life and self-perception caused the misinformation campaign, so it was a perfect storm really.
I feel the same way about them as I do cock roaches in my house.
I would like to see Rosebowl to include some of the comments in the next book.
I can't even go over there anymore, the delusion is just way to insane. I really can't understand how they are so unbelievably ignorant. I really hope it is more or less just because they are on a message board and that they really are not like that in the real world. I do have a few Ole Miss friends and they are pretty normal, sane individuals, nothing like those on Nafoom.
It's not different, if not even more civil than it was 20 years ago. They haven't changed, cheated back when Brewer was there. It didn't matter because we sucked. They are just maybe a little more mad because we'll certainly benefit from their stupidity.
They just got caught cheating so they trot this out there as a pathetic excuse. It's not even worth discussing.
Reading some of the responses they know it's coming. We are in a very good position right now to capitalize on their downfall. So, not only will they suffer 3-9/4-8 seasons for a while they'll have to do so watching us actually compete for the West, make top 10 appearances and pull in legit top 10-15 classes. It's going to eat them up.
We all knew this was going to get more and more ugly the closer we got to rebel doomsday and all their fake narratives started to run out.
My opinion is that it's always been this bad, it's just been one sided. Ole Miss goes to extreme measures to protect their perception of superiority. Before Jackie and some after Jackie, MSU just rolled over and took it. The bully doesn't like it when you fight back. They use the argument that there wouldn't be a fight if you just gave them your lunch money.
One of my om golf buddies says he never liked Mullen because of the TSUN tag he put on them. Now when we play golf I always refer to them that way or the 'bears'. He laughs so it's all in good fun with us. If all rebels were like him I wouldn't have a problem with them. But they're not. Most are pretty touchy now days.
I've never seen anything on either board where someone tried to organize an effort to get an Ole Miss poster fired. The only thing I know of that really pissed people off was the Starkville High School coach but I don't remember any organized effort to get him fired.
It's in the same Nafoom thread that you referenced. Have you seen it? I've never known any MSU person to go after one of them either, but I've been told it's happened to a couple of us.

That did not happen on this site... Happened some where else....
A rivalry would imply that there is somewhat of a competitive matchup. This series won't be competitive for a while. Perhaps we move on to LSU or USM for our rivalry game.
